This resource is staffed by Police Officers and has become a key part of the multi-agency problem-solving approach in Perth and Kinross.
Issues and concerns are raised from the Police Tasking Meeting each day and these are allocated to the Hub for action. These include:
- high-risk repeat missing people
- vulnerable people
- dangerous people
- trends in anti-social behaviour and crime
- environmental issues
- updates on current complex cases
Emerging trends are identified and tracked through a fortnightly multi-agency tasking meeting and this group develops multi-agency action plans utilising the shared skills and resources to tackle issues as early as possible to improve efficiency and effectiveness of response, and promote public confidence and trust.
Police Scotland and the Safer Communities Team have developed an Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy which has emphasis on early intervention and joint working.
